College Fees

Where applicable, we are issuing payment review letters outlining the necessary adjustments to ensure your College fees are fully paid by the end of the 2025 year. Upon receipt of such a letter, please review the details alongside your College fee statements and arrange to implement the indicated increase in payments. A member of our Finance Team will follow up with a phone call to assist as needed.

We recognise that financial management can present occasional challenges. Should you experience any difficulties accessing your emailed statement, have not received it, or have queries regarding your College fees account, please contact our Finance Team for support. They are available by phone at 0746 604 000 (press 2 for Finance) or via email at Finance@acwarwick.catholic.edu.au Our team is committed to providing all necessary assistance and information.

Please also be aware that certain activities and services—including camps/retreats, certificate and distance education courses provided by external organisations, extra-curricular sports, instrumental music lessons, subject-specific resources (such as major art materials), and select excursions—may incur additional charges. These will be communicated to parents and guardians as relevant but are not automatically included in the suggested weekly instalment calculations. When choosing your preferred payment plan, kindly consider your child's specific circumstances and your household budgeting needs. The 2025 Fee Schedule, which lists recommended weekly instalments to cover standard tuition and associated levies, is available on our ACW Website.

We understand that unexpected financial hardship may arise, affecting timely payment of accounts. If you face such circumstances or have concerns about meeting payment deadlines, we encourage you to contact us for confidential support. Both the College Principal and I are available to discuss your situation and collaborate on appropriate solutions. Our goal is to ensure that financial concerns do not impede our students’ educational experiences and overall wellbeing. To arrange a convenient appointment, please contact the college office on 0746 604 000.

Review of College Fees for 2026

We are currently undertaking a review of our college fees for 2026. This review takes into consideration external factors including the Consumer Price Index (CPI) with a review across the overall CPI and Education CPI, as projected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The ABS forecasts a CPI increase of 2.4% for 2025, with Education CPI rising 5.2% to March 2025 and 5.5% from June 2024 to June 2025.

Our analysis will carefully consider our local context, cost-of-living pressures for families in our community, and our College’s mission and priorities before determining any fee adjustments. Once this review is complete, we will communicate our decisions regarding the 2026 College fees to our College community.
